May, 2025

May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Its length is 31 days.

May was named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid provides a second etymology, in which he says that the month of May is named for the maiores, Latin for "elders".(According to Wikipedia)
